Description

服务请求的处理方法、 装置及系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域, 特别涉及一种服务请求的处理方法、 装置及系统。 背景技术
在网络向宽带化、 移动化发展的过程中, 第三代合作伙伴计划 (3rd Generation Partnership Program , 简称 3GPP )组织分别在移动接入网提出 了长期演进 ( Long Term Evolution , 简称 LTE )方案即演进通用移动通信系 统 ( UMTS )陆地无线接入网( Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Territorial Radio Access Network, 简称 E-UTRAN )、 以及在移动核 心网提出了系统架构演进 ( System Architecture Evolution , 简称 SAE )方案 即演进分组核心网 ( Evolved Packet Core, 简称 EPC )。
在 UTRAN ( UMTS Territorial Radio Access Network, 简称 UMTS陆地 无线接入网) 中, 可以通过采用服务区域(登记区域)、 位置区域(LA )和 路由区域( Routing Area, 简称 RA )对终端进行位置管理; 而在 E-UTRAN 中, 由于不再有电路域和分组域的区分, 可以统一采用跟踪区域(Tracking Area, 简称 TA )对终端进行位置管理, 通过给终端分配相应的标识, 对空闲 ( idle )状态终端进行位置管理。
由于基于 IP的 3GPP业务将通过不同的接入技术提供, 因此 SAE需要能 够支持不同的接入系统,既能够与传统的通用分组无线业务(General Packet Radio Service, 简称 GPRS ) 网络无缝演进, 又能够与非 3GPP接入系统互 连。 SAE网络即 EPC的基本架构中包含移动管理设备例如: 移动性管理网元 ( Mobility Management Entity, 简称 MME )和服务 GPRS支持节点( Serving GPRS Support Node , 简称 SGSN )、 服务网关 (Serving Gateway, 简称 S-GW )、 分组数据网络网关(Packet Data Network Gateway, 简称 P-GW )、 以及接入网设备例如: 演进型 Node B ( eNB )、 无线网络控制器 (Radio Network Controller, 简称 RNC )和基站控制器( Base Station Controller, 简 称 BSC )等网元。 空闲状态终端若需要主动发送上行数据或者信令, 可以通过终端触发的 服务请求流程来建立空口侧的信令连接和承载。 若网络侧收到了发送给空闲 状态终端的下行数据或者信令, 则可以通过网络侧触发的服务请求流程来建 立空口侧的信令连接和承载。
通过 E-UTRAN接入 EPC的终端在 MME下完成注册后, MME根据空 口侧上报的终端当前所在的位置区域的标识即 TAI , 给终端分配位置区域的 集合即 TA的集合, TA的集合可以是跟踪区域列表(TA list )。 终端转为空闲 状态后, 只要在该跟踪区域列表所对应的区域内进行移动, 就不会发起跟踪 区域更新 ( Tracking Area Update, 简称 TAU ) 流程。 S-GW的服务区域是 TA的一个集合, 终端在 S-GW的服务区域内移动时, 服务终端的该 S-GW 不需要发生任何改变,就可以与该 S-GW的服务区域内任何一个 eNB具有用 户面连接。
在实现本发明过程中, 发明人发现现有技术中至少存在如下问题: 现有 的位置区域列表(例如: TA list ) 所对应的终端的位置区域(例如: TA ) 与 S-GW 的服务区域之间是相互独立的, 从而导致了移动管理设备(MME 或 SGSN )分配给终端的位置区域列表(TA Iist )中的位置区域(TA )并不一定 完全属于所选择 S-GW的服务区域内。 若 MME分配给终端的位置区域列表 ( TA Iist ) 中的位置区域(TA ) 不完全属于所选择 S-GW的服务区域内, 则 有可能会出现接入网设备 ( eNB )与所选择 S-GW之间不具有用户面连接的 情况。 当空闲状态的终端移动到位置区域列表(TA list ) 中的某个位置区域 ( TA ) 内时, 且服务该位置区域(TA ) 的接入网设备 ( eNB )与当前所选择 S-GW之间并不具有用户面连接, 用户通过终端发起服务请求业务, 或者网 络侧收到下行数据包而触发终端发起服务请求业务, 用户通过终端连接的接 入网设备(eNB )与所选择 S-GW之间则无法建立用户面连接, 从而导致了 终端的上下行业务无法正常进行。 发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种服务请求的处理方法、 装置及系统, 用以实现当 终端通过与当前所选择服务网关之间不具有用户面连接的接入网设备发起服 务请求时, 能够正常进行终端所请求的上下行业务, 从而避免终端的上下行 业务无法正常进行的情况出现。

承载模块, 用于在所述第二服务网关上建立承载。
本发明实施例再提供了一种服务请求的处理系统, 包括接入网设备、 服 务网关和移动管理设备, 所述服务网关包括第一服务网关和第二服务网关, 所述第一服务网关为预先选定的与所述接入网设备连接的终端对应的服务网 关,所述第二服务网关为与所述接入网设备之间具有用户面连接的服务网关, 所述移动管理设备用于接收到终端通过接入网设备发送的服务请求消息后, 判断出所述接入网设备与第一服务网关之间不具有用户面连接, 则选择第二 服务网关, 并在所述第二服务网关上建立承载。

本步骤中, MME可以进一步在进行上述判断所采用的方法 A或方法 A' 中所获取到的所有 S-GW的标识信息中选取一个标识信息对应的 S-G W作为 新 S-GW;

进一步地, 上述本发明实施例中的 UE还可以为启动信令节约即空闲状 态下的信令节约(Idle mode signaling reduction, 简称 ISR )机制的 UE, 其 中, ISR机制应该遵循的一些原则如下:
UE分别注册到 MME和 SGSN , MME为 UE分配跟踪区域列表, SGSN 保存 UE当前所在的路由区域标识 RAI。 Idle态的用户只要在这个跟踪区域列 表所对应的区域内和 RAI所对应的区域内进行移动,则不会发起 TAU或者路 由区域更新 ( Routing Area Update, 简称 RAU ) 流程;
MME和 SGSN注册到 HSS, HSS维护双分组交换域( Packet Switch Domain , PS i或) 网络注册;
SGSN和 MME需要通知 UE是否使用 ISR功能;
如果 2G或 3G采用 ISR功能, 则空闲模式下的用户面终止于 S-GW;
UE是否被使用 ISR功能需要通知给 S-GW。
进一步地,本发明实施例二中步骤 207中 MME向 eNB发送的初始化上 下文建立请求消息、以及步骤 208中 eNB向 UE发送的无线承载建立请求消 息中均携带有去激活标识, 以通知 UE ISR机制已经去激活。 本发明实施例 三中的消息也可以同样处理。 此外, 本发明实施例二和本发明实施例三中旧 S-GW删除所承载的上下文之后还进一步可以包括旧 S-GW触发 SGSN删除 SGSN上的承载上下文的步骤,具体为旧 S-GW判断 UE是否启用 ISR机制, 如果 UE启用了 ISR机制, 旧 S-GW触发 SGSN删除 SGSN上的承载上下 文。 eNB寻呼到, 被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求。 进一步地, 本实施例中 空闲状态终端还可以被网络侧发送的下行信令触发, 即被网络侧经由 eNB寻 呼到, 被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求, 这时网络侧并没有下行数据需 要转发。
可替换地, 应该还能够列举出其他本发明实施例提供的服务请求的处理 方法可以同样适用于通过 UTRAN或 GERAN接入 EPC的终端接入 EPC的 场景, 与本发明实施例二和本发明实施例三相比, 接入网设备变为 RNC 或 BSC,移动管理设备变为 SGSN ,具体的方法流程没有任何区别,只是 SGSN 是根据 UE当前所在 RA的 RAI或 UE当前连接的 RNC/BSC的标识信息对 已选择的旧 S-GW能否继续为 UE服务进行判断的, 原理与本发明实施例二 和本发明实施例三中 MME根据 UE当前所在 TA的 TAI或 UE当前连接的 eNB 的标识信息对已选择的旧 S-GW能否继续为 UE服务进行判断的原理相同, 此处不再贅述。 对应地, 在这些实施例中旧 S-GW删除用户承载的上下文之 后同样进一步可以包括旧 S-GW触发 MME删除 MME上的承载上下文的步 骤,具体为旧 S-GW判断 UE是否启用 ISR机制,如果 UE启用了 ISR机制, 旧 S-GW触发 MME删除 MME上的承载上下文。

方法 C': MME根据旧 S-GW的标识信息进行域名系统 DNS查询,获取 与旧 S-GW对应的所有 eNB的标识信息, MME在所获取的与旧 S-GW对应 的所有 eNB的标识信息中查询是否包含有 UE当前所连接的 eNB的标识信 息。其中 MME所获取的旧 S-GW所能够服务的所有 eNB的标识信息可以为 所有 eNB ID列表等标识集合。 若匹配出与 UE当前所连接的 eNB的标识信 息一致的标识信息, 则可以说明已选择的旧 S-GW能够继续服务 UE; 若没 有匹配出与 UE当前所连接的 eNB的标识信息一致的标识信息, 则可以说明 已选择的旧 S-GW不能够继续服务 UE。
步骤 506、 UE发起 TAU流程, MME重新选择一个与该接入网设备之间 具有用户面连接的第二服务网关, 在新的第二服务网关上建立终端业务的承 载。
本实施例中的 MME通过 eNB接收到终端主动发起的服务请求消息之 后,根据预设的判断策略对该 eNB与当前已选择的 S-GW之间是否具有用户 面连接进行了判断。 当判断出不具有用户面连接时, MME则返回服务拒绝消 息, 指示 UE通过发起 TAU流程来重新选择一个与该接入网设备之间具有用 户面连接的第二服务网关, 在新的第二服务网关上建立终端业务的承载, 保 证了 UE所请求的上下行业务能够正常进行, 从而避免了终端的上下行业务 无法正常进行的情况出现。
本发明实施例六提供的服务请求的处理方法适用于通过 E-UTRAN接入 EPC的场景, 空闲状态终端被网络侧触发即被网络侧经由 eNB寻呼到, 被 动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求。 图 6为本发明实施例六提供的服务请求 的处理方法的流程示意图, 如图 6所示, 本实施例可以包括以下步骤:
步骤 601、 P-GW向旧 S-GW发送下行业务的数据包;
步骤 602、 旧 S-GW接收下行业务的数据包, 但没有获取到该下行业务 的数据包对应的下行隧道的相关信息,旧 S-GW则緩存该下行业务的数据包; 步骤 603、 旧 S-GW向 MME发送下行数据通知消息 (Downlink Data
Notification );
步骤 604、 MME 接收下行数据通知消息, 并向 eNB 发送寻呼消息 ( Paging );
步骤 605、 eNB接收寻呼消息, 并向对应的空闲状态 UE转发该寻呼消 息。
至此, 空闲状态 UE被触发, 将被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求; 步骤 606、 UE 向 eNB 发送携带有终端的标识信息的服务请求消息 ( Service Request );
步骤 607、 eNB接收服务请求消息, 并向 MME转发该服务请求消息; 步骤 608、 MME与 UE、 HSS进行交互, 对 UE进行 NAS鉴权。
本步骤为可选的, 若需要对 NAS进行鉴权时, 才执行本步骤;
步骤 609、 MME接收服务请求消息, 根据终端的标识信息匹配出预先选 定的与 UE对应的第一服务网关(旧 S-GW );
步骤 610、 MME判断 eNB与旧 S-GW之间不具有用户面连接即旧 S-GW 不能够继续为 UE服务, 向 UE返回服务拒绝消息 (Service Reject ), 该服 务拒绝消息中携带有原因值, 以指示 UE发起 TAU流程, 以及需要恢复空口 侧的无线承载;
本步骤中, MME可以根据 UE当前所在 TA的 TAI对已选择的旧 S-GW 能否继续为 UE服务进行判断, 具体判断方法可以与上一实施例中的判断方 法相同, 此处不再贅述;
步骤 611、 UE向 eNB发送携带有终端的标识信息的 TAU请求消息( TAU Request );
步骤 612、 eNB接收 TAU请求消息, 并向 MME转发该 TAU请求消息; 步骤 613、 MME与 UE、 HSS进行交互, 对 UE进行 NAS鉴权。
本步骤为可选的, 若需要对 NAS进行鉴权时, 才执行本步骤;
步骤 614、 MME接收 TAU请求消息, 则重新选择与 eNB之间具有用户 面连接的第二服务网关(新 S-GW );
步骤 615、 MME 向新 S-GW发送创建承载请求消息 (Create Bearer Request ), 在新 S-GW上创建用户的承载上下文;
步骤 616、 新 S-GW接收创建承载请求消息, 向分组数据网络网关 ( P-GW )发送更新承载请求消息 (Update Bearer Request ), 该更新承载 请求消息中携带有新 S-GW的地址和新 S-GW所分配的 T曰 D;
步骤 617、 P-GW接收更新承载请求消息, P-GW 中的 PCEF设备与 PCRF设备进行交互, 以触发 PCC规则的处理。
P-GW接收到更新承载请求消息, 至此, 新 S-GW与 P-GW之间的隧道 承载已经建立完毕, P-GW可以通过新 S-GW发送下行业务的数据包到 UE。
本步骤中的交互步骤为可选的,若动态 PCC架构被配置,才执行本步骤, PCEF设备则向 PCRF设备上报当前的接入方式即发起 IP-CAN 会话修改 ( Initiated IP-CAN Session Modification ) 流程;
步骤 618、 P-GW接收更新承载请求消息, 并向新 S-GW返回更新承载 响应消息 ( Update Bearer Response );
步骤 619、 新 S-GW接收更新承载响应消息, 并向 MME转发创建承载 响应消息 ( Create Bearer Response );
步骤 620、 MME接收创建承载响应消息, 并向新 S-GW返回创建承载 请求消息 ( Create Bearer Request );
步骤 621、 新 S-GW接收创建承载请求消息, 并向 MME返回创建承载 响应消息 (Create Bearer Response ), 该创建承载响应消息中携带有新 S-GW为数据转发分配的目的地址和新 S-GW所分配的 T曰 D;
步骤 622、 MME接收创建承载响应消息, 并向旧 S-GW发送创建承载 请求消息, 该创建承载响应消息中携带有新 S-GW为数据转发分配的目的地 址和新 S-GW所分配的 TBD。
MME与旧 S-GW进行交互, 构建新 S-GW与旧 S-GW之间的数据转发 通道, 把新 S-GW为数据转发分配的地址和 T曰 D信息通知给旧 S-GW, 并 且指示老 S-GW开始数据转发;
步骤 623、 旧 S-GW接收创建承载请求消息, 并向 MME返回创建承载 响应消息 ( Create Bearer Response ), 以确认已经收到了隧道的相关信息, 并已经准备向新 S-GW转发数据。
至此, 旧 S-GW到新 S-GW的数据转发隧道已经建立完毕, 旧 S-GW开 始将所緩存的下行业务的数据包转发到新 S-GW;
步骤 624、旧 S-GW向新 S-GW转发旧 S-GW所緩存的下行业务的数据 包;
步骤 625、 MME 向旧 S-GW发送删除承载请求消息 (Delete Bearer Request );
步骤 626、 旧 S-GW接收删除承载请求消息, 删除旧 S-GW上的承载上 下文, 并向 MME回复删除 载响应消息 ( Delete Bearer Response ), 以确 认承载上下文已经被删除。
进一步地, 步骤 615、 619还可以与步骤 620、 621合并在一起进行。 eNB寻呼到, 被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求。 进一步地, 本实施例中 空闲状态终端还可以被网络侧发送的下行信令触发, 即被网络侧经由 eNB寻 呼到, 被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求, 这时网络侧并没有下行数据需 要转发。
进一步地, 上述本发明实施例中的 UE还可以为启动信令节约即 ISR机 制的 UE, 其中, ISR机制应该遵循的一些原则如下:
UE分别注册到 MME和 SGSN , MME为 UE分配跟踪区域列表, SGSN 保存 UE 当前所在的路由区域标识 RAI。 空闲状态终端只要在这个跟踪区域 列表所对应的区域内和 RAI所对应的区域内进行移动,则不会发起 TAU或者 RAU流程;
MME和 SGSN注册到 HSS, HSS维护双 PS域网络注册;
SGSN和 MME需要通知 UE是否使用 ISR功能;
如果 2G或 3G采用 ISR功能, 则空闲模式下的用户面终止于 S-GW; UE是否被使用 ISR功能需要通知给 S-GW。
进一步地, 本发明实施例五和本发明实施例六中旧 S-GW删除所承载的 上下文之后还进一步可以包括旧 S-GW触发 SGSN删除 SGSN上的承载上 下文的步骤, 具体为旧 S-GW判断 UE是否启用 ISR机制, 如果 UE启用了 ISR机制, 旧 S-GW触发 SGSN删除 SGSN上的承载上下文。 本发明实施 例五和本发明实施例六中还可以进一步包括:
MME向 UE发送 TAU接受消息 (TAU Accept ), 如果 ISR机制去活, 在该消息中可以携带有去激活标识, 以通知 UE ISR机制已经去激活;
UE接收 TAU 接受消息, 并向 MME返回 TAU 接受完成消息 ( TAU Complete )。 eNB寻呼到, 被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求。 进一步地, 本实施例中 空闲状态终端还可以被网络侧发送的下行信令触发, 即被网络侧经由 eNB寻 呼到, 被动通过 eNB向 MME发起服务请求, 这时网络侧并没有下行数据需 要转发。
可替换地, 应该还能够列举出其他本发明实施例提供的服务请求的处理 方法可以同样适用于通过 UTRAN或 GERAN接入 EPC的终端接入 EPC的 场景, 与本发明实施例五和本发明实施例六相比, 接入网设备变为 RNC 或 BSC,移动管理设备变为 SGSN ,具体的方法流程没有任何区别,只是 SGSN 是根据 UE当前所在 RA的 RAI或 UE当前连接的 RNC/BSC的标识信息对 已选择的旧 S-GW能否继续为 UE服务进行判断的, 原理与本发明实施例五 和本发明实施例六中 MME根据 UE当前所在 TA的 TAI或 UE当前连接的 eNB 的标识信息对已选择的旧 S-GW能否继续为 UE服务进行判断的原理相同, 此处不再贅述。
